Insights

Auditor switch follows firm merger, with no reported disputes.

Thunder Mountain Gold changed auditors because its prior firm, Assure CPA, LLC, merged into Sadler Gibb & Associates LLC and stopped operating as a public accounting firm. The Audit Committee approved both the resignation and the new engagement.

The company reports no disagreements or reportable events with Assure CPA, LLC for fiscal years 2024 and 2025 and through May 31, 2026. However, those audit reports included an explanatory paragraph about substantial doubt regarding the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, which remains an important risk factor already on record.

The engagement of Sadler Gibb & Associates LLC as auditor for the fiscal year ending 2026 is a governance and compliance development rather than a financial performance event, so its impact on the investment case depends on future financial statements issued under the new firm.

independent registered public accounting firm financial
"Assure CPA, LLC, which served as the independent registered public accounting firm of Thunder Mountain Gold Inc."
An independent registered public accounting firm is an outside accounting company officially registered with the government regulator to examine and report on a public company's financial records and controls. Investors treat its reports like an impartial inspector’s certificate — they add credibility to financial statements, help spot errors or misleading claims, and reduce the risk that shareholders are relying on unchecked or biased numbers.
going concern financial
"each of Assure CPA, LLC's reports contained an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern"
A going concern is a business that is expected to continue its operations and meet its obligations for the foreseeable future, rather than shutting down or selling off assets. This assumption matters to investors because it indicates stability and ongoing profitability, making the business a more reliable investment. Think of it as believing a restaurant will stay open and serve customers, rather than closing down suddenly.
Audit Committee financial
"were approved by the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors on June 3, 2026"
A company's audit committee is a small group of board members who act like independent inspectors for the firm's finances, overseeing how financial reports are prepared, monitoring internal controls, and managing the relationship with external auditors. Investors care because a strong audit committee reduces the risk of accounting errors, fraud, or misleading statements, making financial statements more trustworthy and helping protect shareholder value.
reportable events regulatory
"no "reportable events" within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K"
Reportable events are significant incidents or changes a company is legally required to disclose to regulators and the public, such as major safety problems, legal actions, financial irregularities, or management changes. They matter to investors because these events can alter a company’s risk profile or future performance, much like a dashboard warning light signals a problem that could affect a car’s safety or reliability. Timely disclosure helps investors make informed decisions and maintain market fairness.
Regulation S-K regulatory
"within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions"
A set of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules that tell public companies which narrative and qualitative details must be disclosed in filings, such as risk factors, management discussion, executive pay, legal proceedings and business description. Think of it as a standardized checklist or blueprint that ensures investors get the same types of background information from every company so they can compare risks, management quality and strategy before making investment decisions.
